SUMMARY:2026 Drexel Maternal and Child Health Symposium: The Importance of Data to Advance Maternal and Child Health
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 2026 Drexel Maternal and Child Health Symposium\, “The Importance of Data to Advance Maternal and Child Health\,” co-hosted by the Drexel University Center of Excellence in Maternal and Child Health\, the Division of Reproductive\, Adolescent\, and Child Health at the Philadelphia Department of Public Health\, PolicyLab at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia\, and St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children. \nThroughout this half-day event\, we will explore the importance of data in maternal and child health and how different types of data collection strategies and research methods are used to advance MCH outcomes. Discussions will highlight the importance of large state and national MCH data sets\, rich qualitative MCH data\, and data from community-engaged research. We will describe innovative data collection strategies and examples of how data is used to inform practice and policy. The symposium will demonstrate how data\, in its various forms\, is a valuable resource for researchers\, policymakers\, advocates\, and families interested in understanding and advancing maternal and child health. \nIn-person Registration: tinyurl.com/DrexelMCH2026 \nOnline Registration: tinyurl.com/DrexelMCH2026Online

SUMMARY:Sustainable Financing for Home-Based Asthma Services: Snapshots of Innovation and Progress Across the Country
DESCRIPTION:Asthma home visiting is an evidence-based intervention proven to reduce healthcare costs and improve asthma outcomes. Despite robust evidence of their impact\, however\, programs historically have had to rely on unstable grant funding to provide services. But in recent years\, that pattern has begun to shift\, and we have seen progress in communities and states across the country in building systems for sustainable asthma home visiting services. \nThere are many pathways for achieving sustainable home-based asthma services. As such\, progress can look different from one place to the next. This webinar\, hosted by Regional Asthma Management & Prevention (RAMP) and the National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH)\, will feature success stories from across the country\, highlighting both state Medicaid policy advances\, and stories about local partnerships\, and other innovations that create a groundswell for statewide change; all serving as models for new community action. \nLearning Objectives: By the end of this webinar\, participants will: \n\nUnderstand what progress and pathways for building systems to expand and sustain access to home-based asthma services might look like\nIdentify one or more pathways that may lead toward sustainable home-based asthma services in their community or state • Know how to access free technical assistance and tools to support efforts in their community or state.\n\nPanelists: \n\nLynly Siag\, New York State Department of Health\nPeggy Gaddy\, Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services\nEric Armbrecht\, Saint Louis University\nNatalie Talis\, Alexandria Health Department\nMolly Zemke\, Wisconsin Department of Health Services\nPaula Holigan\, New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services

SUMMARY:Plastic\, Chemicals & Infertility: What we know now
DESCRIPTION:Industrial chemicals that can affect male and female reproductive function are widespread in our environment. Many of these chemicals are used in the plastics that we use in our daily lives. We are also exposed through manufacturing processes\, pesticides\, and a range of household products\, from air fresheners to skin creams. \nOver the past few decades\, a growing body of evidence has found that exposure to these chemicals is linked to many health concerns\, such as infertility\, cancer\, and neurodevelopmental disorders. A new documentary\, The Plastic Detox\, unfolds the science behind plastics and their health impacts\, specifically fertility challenges. This documentary was guided by environmental and reproductive epidemiologist\, Dr. Shanna Swan\, who conducted a three-month intervention with couples experiencing infertility to “lower daily exposure to plastic-related chemicals in hopes of better health markers\, and ultimately\, pregnancy.” \nIn this EDC Strategies Partnership webinar\, Dr. Swan will discuss the science behind the movie\, details of the “detox” process the participating couples undertook\, and how to understand the implications of this experiment. She will also share global trends in sperm count\, semen quality\, and fertility\, and explain why scientists are certain that environmental factors are driving the dramatic increases worldwide. Finally\, she will give her perspective on how the global crisis in reproductive health can be addressed through action to reduce or eliminate toxic exposures. The webinar will be moderated by Génon Jensen\, Executive Director\, Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL). \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Extreme temperatures\, neighborhood opportunity\, and pediatric primary care outcome
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, Dr. Stephanie Mayne from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia will present results from a PRCCEH-funded pilot study examining the association of extreme temperatures with missed pediatric preventive visits. Additional research examining the relationship of neighborhood context\, assessed using the multidimensional Child Opportunity Index\, with primary care utilization\, obesity\, mental health\, and adolescent risk factors will be presented as well. \nDr. Mayne\, PhD\, MD\, is an epidemiologist whose research focuses on the relationship of neighborhood environmental exposures with child well-being\, including outcomes such as sleep\, mental health\, and obesity. Her recent work uses intensive longitudinal methods including location tracking\, ecological momentary assessment\, and actigraphy to better assess environmental exposures that vary through time and space and their relationship to sleep among adolescents. \n  \nRegister for this Seminar:
